The Spiderforest Comic of the Week is Ley Lines. The Itsuri Empire has enjoyed an unprecedented quarter-century of peace... but now the wife of its leader is dead, and her children -- Tama, Mizha, and their adoptive brother Zhiro -- find themselves in a bewildering maze of plots. Why is their father so intent on sending them away? Did their mother really kill herself? And why have the capricious, cryptic, and terrifying gods of their world chosen to involve themselves in the siblings' lives?

Ley Lines is a fascinating story set in a lovingly detailed high fantasy world with -- if by some chance I haven't sold you yet -- beautiful artwork. What are you waiting for? Go! Read!
